Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times and thank you for riding.
I'm an LA transplant living in London so yeah I can say that it's cold in comparison. It's all about the layering. But it probably won't snow with global warming and all that it will just drizzle annoyingly for probably your entire stay.
Birmingham, well the only thing to see in Bham is the fucking bull ring, there is also the custard factory which has a few bars and it's alright. But other than that it seems to me that Birmingham is just one giant shopping centre with not a single good looking girl in sight for miles. It was actually kind've disturbing and much like being in the midwest.
London on the other hand is veritable playground for the mind and eyes. Must sees and do's.
Tate Modern
Design Museum
Saatchi Gallery
The London Eye
Primrose Hill
Covent Garden (Magma Books)My usual Sunday tour is
Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market then hit the Owl and Pussycat Pub for a proper british carve-up roast.Portobello Market (Saturday)
Dover Street Market (It's a store)
Sketch (it's like a really pretentious hotel lobby without the hotel, a must see.)The best food is in West london in and around portobello road, notting hill, that's where you're going to find the fare most resembling LA cuisine. Don't go for sushi because it's a joke here. The best nightlife in my opinion is in East London. Tons of bars, pubs, clubs, wander until you find something that fits. I personally like my drinking establishments a bit on the tatty side.
Enjoy.
